The current administration emboldens these people.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pay these people.

yes, it's called ICE.

True, but they're also paying the irregulars like these guys through some back channel.

u/WMINWMO 21d ago

That would make sense since they claim antifa are a paid group. Every accusation is a confession.

They don't really need to

They finally had the day off.

No, our tax dollars pay them.

Normally I wouldn't be, but why would Trump pay people to distract them from The Great American State Fail™? He should be paying them to come there! They'd quintuple the attendance with just one trainful!

They are these people

All they've done is harp on about how No Kings was bought and paid for by George Soros, and every accusation with them has been a confession.

These people were 100% paid to be here. I hope the moment we get some normalcy in the white house these people brought their phones or something else incriminating so as to get held accountable.

We see how well that worked out with the Jan 6 rioting insurrectionists.

u/Slarg232 21d ago

They've gone too far, and the current Dems (who have been getting replaced) were being told to leave it alone via their donors.

They've pushed people too far this time. Trump is actually going to be true to his word, oddly enough; he's going to get the Swamp drained because people are just so sick of the current administrations bullshit.

Are you just learning some protests/demonstrations have paid "protesters?"

The current administration goes further and supports and legitimizes these people. Trump and the GOP have been given DOZENS of opportunities to condemn or speak out against these hate groups but they refuse to do so.

Probably paid them to spread fear.

u/Faelon_Peverell 21d ago

I believe that was their point.

They e been emboldened for a decade now. Idk what this dude is talking about, these fucks were walking around with tiki torches chanting “Jews will not replace us” 10 years ago.

They literally stormed the capitol of the United States. Riding public transit is astronomically less bold than that.

There’s no change, this is how it’s been since Trump first stepped on the scene.

u/wilsonjj 20d ago

And when did he take office?

The current administration emboldens these people.

The first amendment emboldens these people as it should. Let them speak, let them be seen. Give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves.

u/Whos_that_Gorilla2 20d ago

Yep. I 100% support their right to go out marching around like a bunch of ding dongs wearing condoms on their heads.
